    As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith's death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow.

Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.

"My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know," said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.

In 1995, Rosie's mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence(证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.

"I couldn't believe that such a thing could happen still and again," said Barry. She believes Rosie's death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.

She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.

There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn't accept that. "My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn't mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that's one too many," she said.

Fun and Fitness on Bikes

A cyclist dresses up during a 16-kilometer bike ride in Moscow during the spring 2023 Velofest. Velofest is a big cycling activity in Russia. The activity was a celebration in support of bike culture and healthy lifestyles. A number of people took part and many dressed up. It meant that they want an active lifestyle and eco-friendly way of traveling. 

A City for Walking and Cycling

The city of Pontevedra in Spain is great for walking and cycling. People can't drive in the city center. They make 73 percent of journeys in the city on foot or by bike. Only 30 percent of the public space is for cars. Seventy percent is for people. From 2001 to now, there are no deadly road accidents, and the CO2 level went down by 67 percent since the 1990s. 

Travel Squad

Recently, "travel squad" becomes a popular trip style in China. It means travel like a soldier. It's different from the relaxing kind of traveling that we all know. Visitors often go to a lot of places in a short period of time at a low cost, usually on weekends. Most of them are college students. "Such a trip can bring a different color to my stressful life, "said Chen, a 24-year-old university student. "Because it is very energy-consuming ( (耗体力), it is not suitable for everyone", she added.

Can you imagine going to university at age 14 This year, Jia Zijun, from Henan, did just that. He became the 1 freshman (大一新生)at Beihang University and plans to study aircraft design.

"I didn't know I was the youngest 2 I got here, and it feels quite cool!" Jia told The Paper.

Jia took part in the college entrance exam in.June and got a total score of 642. People often think students like him must be geniuses (天才).But Jia owes(归功于)his 3 mainly to curiosity and good study habits.

" When I was in Grade 1, I was 4 about what we were going to learn next. So I borrowed Grade-2 5 and learned the lessons during my summer holidays. I enjoyed exploring new information, " he said. Because of this, Jia skipped (跳过) Grade 2, and then Grade 4.

As he went to high school, he found things were getting 6 to learn. So he started to make plans every day and 7 goals for himself. "I would 8 follow the plan, and gradually(逐渐地)I'd see my 9 . "

Jia would also 10 what he learned each day before going to bed. If there was something he couldn't remember well, he'd take a look at it the next morning.

"I was not good at English in high school, so I printed the vocabulary list and 11 it onto my bed. Every moming when I woke up, I 12 them, and it's a good way to remember things."

When Jia felt stressful, he had a 13 way to relax: working on math problems. "I'd find difficult problems to 14 myself, and when I worked it out, I felt really happy."

As he told The Paper, he hopes he can 15 his curiosity and study habits in university, and keep challenging himself to become a better person.
